I always went above and beyond the typical agent duties by getting very involved in the due diligence, dealing with county/ city planning and zoning etc, for two reasons, because I loved it and to help ensure my deal would go through by providing as much information to my client as possible to help them make a quick and intelligent decision.

In your experience:What metrics did you utilize to evaluate a city?

Zoning needs to be your first stop at the city offices followed by a visit to the organized event permit office.

Below is more context:- We all have full time jobs and in our early 30's- 2 of us live in New York City and 1 lives in Boston, if that matters- All of us are planning to do equal investment and buy the property in all cash- Our strategy for the first property is to go for cash flow - We are only going to buy one property under this LLC. 

There are some areas you probably want to avoid just like any other city.
